The trouble about this whole matter is
with the people. When they the mselyes
create the emsnd for greater induce
ments than those slread7 given, the rail
WAYS will be glad 10 offer them. 1t is
absurd to Claim that cheap rsilway fares
are the only things that carry people to
@ lifornis. That state has done some
thing to cause people 10 want to &c there.
They nave advertised and creste q boom
for their country, and the rail
ways, in giving cheso fares
to tourists have dose NJ more
nan they are resdy to do for Texas when
Yer the demand is created. The rail-
ODDS are always CAD to hsui people
wlen people want to be- haul~d. That Is
heir business, and when Texas has done
IS California has done-that is, convince
INVESTORS that its waste lands are ysiua-
bit KISS will reap equsl benefits and
probably greater financial success. The
r always are not responsible for the in
active policy which has prevailed
Will THE GAZETTE say who IS? TIE
GAZETTE sh uld bear in misd that it is
ii ficult to drive or draw intelligence and
industry over the line OF obstruction tn.i
has been built sround the border If
Texas by legislative ostrscism and iadif
ference ana want OF eLergy. Indeed, if
there be nothing the matter with Texss
except ack of railway fares, what does
The GAZETTE mean by this paragraph:
'Tnree bugored and fourteen people,
leaving Texas in one d.y aud nobody
canning into the state iudicstes q screw
loose somewhere.' II people are so
anxious to leave Texas, and are in fact
leaving it In such large numbers, is it not
p ain that the railways do not own the
'iloose sCreW2"
But the burden of THE GAzErTE's COM
plant seems TO be thst The roafR of Texas
hsve not and will not pay commissions to
agents CT other railroads In other states
and foreign countries to secure immigra-
ZION to Texas. This, it is the beliet CT
the Post, is :. matter for discussion and
settlement between the lads tht mselves
II ght also be said thai TIE GAZETTE
is egitating and approving questionable
course Of procedure. but the Post will
not discuss the matter further than to
asg THE GAZETTE, since il has made its
decl ration, Of what evidence it is
possessed that the railroads Of
the Texas Traffic Association. in or
out Of the state, do not pay c >mmissions
on passenger business destined to Texss2
Has anyone In authority connected with
the Texas Traffic Association said that
This was, or was NOT being done? The
Post will further suggest 10 THE GAZETTE
t at it apply the "dolce far niente pro-
grsmme" TO Texas aud her citizens with
The energy it has displsved ia other mat
tiers. and most favorable result will
soon be apparent snd ere long attained.
THE GAZETTE is SON the wrong TRAIL" as
SuOWD, as oU Tue IeAaS IOaC6 nOC
having -gencies and rates of passage, and
the Post would suggest to it's
friend and contemporary that while
Huntington may have made "bond
woman" OF the Houston and Texas Cen
trail, that road in IT'S bondage has acted
With its accustomed lioerality and en-
ergv, and exhibited the same generous
qualities, at least toward FJra Worth ana
TIE GAZETTE, as it did when free. TIL
Post will say in conclusion, as is said ty
The GAZETTE, that it is the champion OF
but only 10 the extent in csse-
ct this kind that it would no5 see :hem
dealt with. The Post eppr. ciate 5
what they have done and are doing 10
help on the prosperity of the sta e, nj it
restless also that TO arreign the ID unfairly
but adds to the hurlfui PREJUDICE
alrssdy existing ia the minds Of the
ignorant and uniformed.
